Yesterday's Perfect NBA DFS Lineups: Wednesday 4/1/15

After getting embarrassed by Stephen Curry on Tuesday, Chris Paul took out his frustration on Portland last night.

With the playoffs right around the corner, the stars shined bright during last night's critical 12-game slate. After Stephen Curry turned Chris Paul into a meme with this ridiculous crossover on Tuesday, the Clippers' point guard did he best to make the internet trolls remember just how good he is against the Blazers last night. Paul dropped 41 points with 17 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and just 1 turnover. The Clippers' floor general played a near perfect game, scoring at will yet still getting his teammates involved.

Paul wasn't the only superstar to put on a show last night. In Houston, DeMarcus Cousins and James Harden squared off in what was an epic battle between two of the best players in the game today. With Dwight Howard getting the night off, the Rockets simply had no answer for Cousins who posted an absurd 24-point, 21-rebound, 10-assist triple-double while adding 6 blocks and 3 steals on the defensive end. Despite Boogie's monster performance, the Rockets had the last laugh as they were able to pull out a 115-111 victory thanks in large part to another MVP-caliber performance from Harden. The Rockets' star poured in 51 points with 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, willing Houston to their 51st win of the season.
